the reader of the following specification.

In the drawings: Figure 1 represents a side elevational view. Figure 2is a top plan View.

Figure 3 is a bottom plan view.

Figure 4 is a plan view of the foot piece.

Figure 5 is a side elevationalview of the frog I member. I r 20 Figure 6is an elevation of one section of the clamp. Figure '7 is a sideelevational View of the sword. Referring to the drawings wherein likenumerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numerals 55 representa pair of plow beams which can be secured together at the portion'B.

A bolt I extends through the hump portion 80f these beams and a spacer 9is interposed between the beams at this point to properly space thebeams.-

A pair of strap members or plates l-l0 have the sword member I Iinterposed between the same and a rivet or bolt l2 extends through theseplates I0 to properly secure the sword I I.

1. In a plow, a pair of beam bars having downwardly disposed tailportions, hand bars having tapered lower ends, said tail portionsprovided 40 with rearwardly disposed finger members defining crotches inwhich the tapered lower ends of the bars "are disposed, and a plateinterposed between the lower ends of the tail portions and between thelower ends of the hand bars and. secur ing means between the said plateand the beams and between the plate and the lower ends of the hand bars,a plow, an adjustable shoe carrying the plow, an arm having one endsecured between the lower ends of the said tail portions and its .50opposite end secured to the said shoe.

2. In a plow,a pair of beam bars having downwardly disposed tailportions, hand .bars having tapered lower ends, said tail portionsprovided with rearwardly disposedfinger members defin- '55 the plow, anarm having one end secured between the lower ends of the said tailportions and its opposite end secured to the said shoe, said shoe beingadjustably connected to the beams and having a handle at its upper end.
